    Will this be a continual fun thing to do, or will it become 'passé', and
    also reduce the fun value that the holiday periods have?


    this is what i worry about too....

    what about 2 weeks - 1 month a year for a kind of "dress up" period...?

    I don't think it should be every week we would run out of icons, maybee every two weeks?

    Well, how about less icons? Maybe 20-50 bimonthly?

    For the record, I'm in favor of the idea also.

    It sounds like fun.

    I'd like some art icons. Van Gogh, Nolde, etc. How about movie tie ins? Casablanca, Vertigo, Die Hard . . .

    I demand an Anouk Aimee icon from 8 1/2, darn it! [face_love]

    Pro: this would be a way to get non-sw icons in

    Con: it would take a lot of work on the part of the iconmakers, but especially the icon-uploader

    Con: at first it will be loved and used, but after a while people might tire of it.

    How about the icons last for the whole month?

    It is rather bothersome to be changing icons each week. :p

    I think it's a great idea, but I think doing it quarterly or every three months might be good to keep the sense of "newness" and not kill the icon makers.

    Can we have comic ones one time? So I can have a Deadpool icon? :D

    I like this idea a lot. And I agree with Kate -- every three months sounds fine. Anymore frequently would be overkill... those poor icon makers.

    You'd be surprised what an icon maker with time can churn out ;)

    And as they churn, they mumble to themselves

    "I think icon, I think icon..."

    I definitely like this idea, and I think it would give a kickstart to a more care-free way of things around here.

    And trust me, icon makers can do things very easily if given some time. ;)

    I indeed think this is a good idea.

    Someone brought up the problem that it would make the icon-makers extremely busy throughout the year. I don't know if anyone brought this up yet, but a possible solution for this would be to pre-create the icons (and choose which ones to be uploaded) based on the categories already decided for each month at the beggining of each year.

    Here, here! Just make an icon that says "8 1/2" in plain black and white and I'm set for the rest of my JC career.

    Here is something else I want to throw in.

    Instead of doing this constantly, maybe do one or two of these during that period that we have between the holidays that we go all out for?

    That seems like a fair compromise, Kadue. And perhaps the themes could be voted on by JC members?

    With final approval by the mods I suppose.

    Although I can't imagine they'd object to most themes, it's really on fair they have that in case the unexpected happens.

    However, I would wonder, if it were to be voted on by members, where that would happen. The Icon thread seems most likely but I'm not sure it gets enough traffic.
